Rundown
[edit]- Introduction of the panel
- Andrew Lih User:Fuzheado, active on English Wikipedia located in China. Currently writing a book about Wikipedia and its community.
- Andrew2 aka User:Tawker, of Tawkerbot2 and currently located in Canada. Is not writing a book about Wikipedia yet... his blog isn't paper worthy yet
- I think in this podcast, we'll go by Wikipedia usernames, because there are way too many Andrews in the Wikipedia universe.

- No more @ signs in usernames, because of spamming, breaks stuff - [username@foobar.com] - New accounts on the WMF-wikis can not longer be created if the username contains the @-symbol. Existing users who have that symbol in there username can still login but only temporary. All these users need to request for a username change. Contact a local bureaucrat to do that or ask a steward if your wiki does not have a bureaucrat.
- [CategoryTree] - On the category-pages there is now a function added that lets users browse through the lower category levels from the higher category. There is an option to "expand" the category. This makes it much more easy to navigate and find the category you are looking for without the need to actually request the different layers of the category. This function works only if javascript is enabled. If not, the "+" symbol appears but does not work. Those users can still use the categories the traditional way.
